Do you want to know how to make the most of your fundraising experience? We can help! On Saturday, February 21 @ 10am we will be holding a training session on our Online Fundraising System for any interested participants. Let us help you use the Online Fundraising System to its full potential. We’ll cover:
The Basics of the Online Fundraising System
How to start or join a team
How to register your friends and family
Creating a donor list that can be used year after year
Personalizing your page
All of the basics you need to know to help make 2009 your best fundraising year yet! This session will be held at the MS Society office, 150 – 9405 50 St, Edmonton, and we’ll even provide the coffee and snacks! Please RSVP to colleen.sharkie@mssociety.
Did you know that participants who fundraise online raise 30% more pledges, on average, than those who do it the ‘old fashioned way’?
